Actor Kim Seon Ho has come under intense scrutiny following a report by Sports Kyunghyang on Feb. 1, 2026, alleging he operated a private family corporation to evade taxes—a method mirroring that of his labelmate, Cha Eun Woo.

The Allegations: The report claims Kim Seon Ho established a planning corporation in Jan 2024 using his home address. Suspected irregularities include paying “fictitious salaries” to his parents (which were returned to him) and expensing personal items, such as a luxury vehicle.

Agency Accountability: Legal experts are pointing fingers at his agency, Fantagio. Attorney Noh Jong Eon stated, “If Fantagio repeatedly applied this suspicious tax evasion structure… it constitutes evidence that strongly suggests intentionality.” If proven that the agency was an accomplice, they could face charges for professional breach of trust and violation of the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act.

Current Status: Fantagio has denied malicious intent, stating the corporation has been non-operational for a year.

Actors Shin Eun Soo and Yu Seon Ho are officially in a relationship. On January 29 KST, media outlet Newsen reported the news, which was subsequently confirmed by both Management SOOP and Hiin Entertainment. The agencies stated, “It is true that they are dating.”

Annie, member of ALLDAY PROJECT and granddaughter of Shinsegae Group’s honorary chairman, has requested that fans refrain from using her leaked Columbia University email address.

During a recent livestream, she explained that fan emails are burying important messages from her professors. “It becomes very difficult for me to find messages from my professors… I’d really appreciate it if you could send [messages] elsewhere,” she stated, directing fans to the official platform, Dayoff.

Campus Life: Annie, who is completing her final semester in Art History, noted she is open to saying hello to fans on campus but asked for understanding if she looks tired. She humorously added, “If you want to see me, you should study hard and get into Columbia University.”
